The aim of this study was to investigate how Turkish-speaking adults and children encode caused motion events in speech and gesture. Participants did three tasks. First, they watched 3 practice videoclips, and 35 videoclips depicting various caused motion events. After watching each clip, adult participants described them to another person and child participants described them to another person who was holding a puppet. In the second task task, participants were prompted to watch certain clips again and describe them using a verb provided by the experimenter. The last task was the narration of 2 Maus & Elephant movies which also depicted caused motion events. Each movie was divided into smaller parts - 4 parts for the first movie, 3 parts for the second one - which the participants watched one by one and then narrated. The caused motion videos are: vignette #: vignette description p_1: tear piece of cloth in two p_2: open jar p_3: eat a cookie 1: bring cake to the table 2: spin ball out of room 3: make toy run to the car 4: kick garbage bin down 5: pour water into pot 6: pull box up 7: roll ball down 8: drag toy into room 9: make toy jump over 10: slide toy down 11: take cake to the table 12: knock down boxes 13: push box into building 14: put box on shelf 15: sweep rubbish into rubbish bin 16: lay toy down 17: bounce ball into room 18: pour water onto grass 19: throw rubbish out the window 20: spin ball down 21: lift suitcase up 22: kick garbage bin out of room 23: take cucumber out of pouch 24: pull box out of room 25: make toy ride horse 26: bring cake into the room 27: bounce ball down 28: drag scarf up 29: roll ball into box 30: put suitcase out of room 31: push box to car 32: sweep rubbish down 33: throw box at wall 34: put celery into pouch 35: take tray of glasses into room
